Abstract

Previous studies have indicated that at the onset of exercise cardiac baroreflex function is reduced in an intensity-dependent manner, which appears to be mediated by a blunted ability to buffer hypertensive challenges. However, whether cardiac baroreflex responses to a hypotensive
stimulus are altered at exercise onset is unclear.
